In this video, I finish my abandoned DeLorean after sitting for 32 years! After so many issues and breakdowns we go for our first drive and first time travel! Enjoy and thanks so much for watching the DeLorean series so far. This car means a lot to me but even more after seeing the support from all of you. I was nervous the car wouldn't do well on TH-cam but I've wanted one since I was a kid and just had to do it. Thanks for being excited with me and for coming along for the journey.

I was just going to say, "you should LS swap the DeLorean!"
Let's give it up for Max who did an awesome job editing, not just this video but the entire series!
You beat me to it.
Good job editing.
Some of it was so cheesy and so damn good. Brilliant job.
Let’s not big him up too much tho. Don’t want Max to mysteriously disappear for getting too much praise on someone else’s channel 👀😆
Amazing work no matter what happened… IMO rear is a bit too low. Enjoy this car, one of the nicest out there.
Awesome work Max!
As usual! 😊
A car restoration video has NO business being this wholesome!!! The whole time, I had a smile on my face. Alex, keep it up! This content is what the car community needs!
That's right! Car restoration videos should always have liquor, and swearing, and women of questionable morals parading about in *gasp* bikinis!!!
( just joking with you...I also appreciate his family focused manner)
@@deetroitdario
Last thing i wanna see is Alex out working on his car in a Bikini.
141.622 kilometers per hour. This was definitely one of the coolest builds you’ve done. Really enjoyed it.
But they simply used 140 in the movies. ^^
@@Lykaon01 No we don`t. If we are speaking about BITTF
That is pretty damn fast. Where I live anything over 100km/h would be considered speeding, though some people still risk driving at 120km/h on highways.
@@hycron1234 In German ppl actually get angry at you if you "only" go 140 on the autobahn 😅
@@hycron1234 Yep. I got an $80 fine for 110 km/h, in a deserted 100 km/h area. My cobber got a $30 fine for 51 km/h, in a 50 km/h school area. nz.
Adding the bloopers at the end of this was really instructive!! I think people just do not understand how much extra work goes into the editing and prep for these videos!! Great job Alex!!
I just binge watched all of your videos, I'm not super big into cars or anything but over the years I've watched a ton of videos on DeLorean restoration, and I've got to say from my perspective this is by far the most detailed, well edited, all inclusive collection of restoration videos on this car. The amount of work that you guys put into camera angles and making sure you touch on every random completely superfluous hick-up and quirk with this it is just super commendable. The choice to do all of this over the course of a couple months really did pay off both from a video presentation standpoint and the actual restoration itself, every part of this seemed to be made to be as informative as possible. Totally going to subscribe after this, it was just that impressive.
Thanks so much!
I can’t believe how emotionally tied I became to the completion of this project. You’re a great dad for doing this for your kids & the kids in the neighborhood.
Personally I wouldn’t go Time Machine with it. There’s plenty of those out there. Also lots of electric conversions. I’d try to find a way to shoehorn a more powerful engine in there and turn it into the sports car it was always meant to be.
Wrx swap would be sweet and wouldn't be any less reliable but a whole lot more fun to drive
My thoughts exactly! LS swap that beast! They make LS conversion kits for Porsche so I'm sure they make one for the time machine😂
I wouldn't modify it. It would seriously decrease the value. DeLoreans are collector cars. If you want a sports car to drive, get something more common and less valuable. And please ENOUGH with the time machine thing.
@@geraldscott4302eh this kinda sounds like a a forever car for him. What’s the point in value when you don’t plan to sell. In cars you want to keep forever fun always trumps value.
Just change it how you like but have a “purity” box for all the original bits.
I love seeing you and your wife smile together. It just makes me happy.
What a great finish to the whole series!
So good to see the DeLorean up and running
Thanks brother!
yeah, this is almost a@@LegitStreetCars highlight video. 😄
@@LegitStreetCars Amazing project, glad you made it ! Greetings from Ukraine !
Nonsense
Don’t turn it into a movie car. Upgrade the engine and fix the body. Pass it down to ur kids. 👍🏾
Alex - 2.4k comments, you’ll probably never see this! But if you do… (as a 15 year owner myself), some quick wins - get that catalyst out and replace it with a decat pipe. Or alternatively whack a full stainless exhaust on. Consider running open loop and sacking off all the lambda shit. UK cars in this spec reliably put out 145bhp on dynos here. 15bhp extra isn’t much but you feel it!
Until you get the aircon working lose the compressor, saves a tonne of weight and the extra work of the engine to spin it.
Sure it’s been said already but you adjusted the springs the wrong way and increased ride height :)
You’ve made some great choices already - LCA / extra supports, wilwood brakes etc. Thought I’d try and throw in some helpful suggestions :) Your car is looking fantastic. Incredible video series - have watched it all. Congrats 🎉
You're definitely not the average TH-cam fixing cars channel 😂. I love the go back in time to warn yourself about the parking brake 😂. Keep up the great work, brother. I support you every Saturday and on those rare occasions when you release a video on a different day.
I am so glad you saw this through to the end and took us with you all the way. Your content this year has been the best so far, the space van and DeLorean projects have been so interesting. I also really appreciate giving the entire video a story like it's from BTTF, such a cool idea :).
Thank you so much!
@@LegitStreetCarsI need your help with a Mercedes I can’t get the arm that holds the rear suspension air bags back into the slot behind the rotor I’m not a mechanic but I’m doing a conversion from air to spring I’ve spent hours trying to get it back into the receptacle and it just won’t go please Alex I need something to give🫤
Alex this was absolutely wonderful. The entire Delorean series has been just stellar. This final episode though was epic. We enjoyed every second. We want to tell you just how much we appreciate your dedication to your craft. Where so many others say good, you say not good enough. You just don’t settle. We love that about you and your content. We love how you always seem to find a way. And being a man that puts faith and family first, I appreciate the sacrifices you make to get out top quality content even if at times you lose time with your family. That and your work ethic has earned my deepest respect. Look forward for what’s next.
Thanks so much Peter! I appreciate the kind words and for always watching. See you in the next video!
@@LegitStreetCars
Frame restoration with a LS3 swap and G96/01 (02-05) Porsche 996 manual Transaxle. Keep the manual steering rack. Would be a lot of great content for the channel.
@@LegitStreetCarsspeaking of Peter where is he at ? Does he still work on projects with you ?
That car is awesome, you are like a little kid eating his favorite candy. Enjoy it and allways be happy.
Woah, hold the phone! I know the Knight Rider Historian guys! I've been following them for years as they restore the trailer from the Knight Rider series they finally found. So cool he has a DeLorean Time Machine and came on the show!
Whole video is awesome. I'm restoring a 1972 VW Super Beetle I inherited that hasn't run in 30 years. I'm finishing a ground up restoration including complete engine rebuild. This video series got me so excited seeing another fellow car enthusiast live out their childhood dreams restoring their car! I've always loved the look of the DeLorean, what an icon.
I love this guy"s energy - i just had a shitty day and just by watching you my mood got cheered up instantly. Thank you and good job achieving your goals.
🏁🏁Great intro Alex love this Delorean series still waiting on engine swap series next 😎🛠
Yes sir LS swap 👌
There is a smoking tire video with a twin turbo v6 Kia stinger engine swapped in a Delorean
Alex, as usual exceeding my completion expectation! That DMC is one sweet daily! Loved watching the kids and adults make new memories. Your wife as Marty's girlfriends seals the package ❤
One great restore and one great Halloween 🎉
Alex the spring on the rack keeps tension on the white piece which holds the gears together at the right pressure. The idea is that as the gears wear over time, the spring takes up the space and keeps the right pressure. Some manual racks have a bolt adjustment for this so you can tighten the rack over time, but the spring makes things really nice.
Thanks, thats the confirmation I needed. I guessed the purpouse was to avoid developing any play as the gears wore out.
Dude, when the wife says "are we going to make it into a time machine", and "are we going to make this faster". You say YES.
That look on your face of unbridled joy is worth millions. Thank you for sharing your journey with us! (ps... hate to say it but your driver side brake/tail light is out... probably pointed out already by your astute viewers...) Looking forward to the next project, Alex!
Absolutely loves the intro, love watching you're videos bro!!!
Thanks Derek!
I appreciate your selection of replacement parts, surface treatments and proper assembly techniques; it makes me feel good inside.
This has been a great series and a pleasure to watch.
❤ Loved the build series & the humour 😉 And 100% you know it, but must say: you have an amazing partner since she puts up with these projects and even seems excited :)
Absolutely insane job Alex, but seeing that genuine joy when driving it and parking it on the lawn made my day. Enjoy that car to the max sir
Kudos to max and all the amazing editing that hes been doing lately. Top-notch guys love the stuff every Saturday.
Alex,
It was great meeting you at SEMA. Thanks for taking the time out to chat with me in the procharger booth and sharing the pic of the Delorean on the yard... Great time.
Great seeing you too and thanks for stopping by!
Alex. At the 17:11 mark. With the Delorean on the lift. It looks just like the end screen of Back To The Future. Just add the wheels hanging facing down and some dry ice fog...... and its "88"% perfect. 😁👍
This video was so awesome 😌👌🏽 it made my Saturday morning 🌄 thank you Alex and max for the hard work yall do for us to watch 💪🏽 now thats legit
Nice!!!
Don't worry about the DeLorean but just keep going with it until you finish it
You lost
@@orange2352😜😜😜😜😜😜
@@1stfrompuertorico568 maybe next week haha jk I won’t be on next sat morning 😀
Great Scott!
I thoroughly enjoyed this!!! Thank you Sir and Congratulations!!!
Clever on. going back in time on the parking brake. Man it's cool you can still get parts for this car..
Epic finish I’m sure to an EPIC series! Thanks for making my Saturday now! My absolute favourite TH-cam series of 2023!!!
Glad you enjoy it!
Well done Alex. I knew you would meet your goal. Have fun driving this and I can not wait to see more content on the DeLorean.
This car is so clean it would be a shame to turn it into another replica time machine. You could just get some of the essential parts of the time machine parts like the mr. fusion, the flux capacitor, the rear "thrusters", time inputs, and some random hoses and basically make a "costume" for your car that you can easily put on and remove for events like car shows and Halloween. Then you can enjoy the car like normal but also have fun with it.
This is so cool. A child’s dream come true. Such an awesome car. Great job !!!
And with 3,000 edits, it’s amazing that you get a complete and entertaining result! Again, well done!
Always delivering the great videos as usual. We appreciate the efforts that you the team and your family are putting into this. Great job and can't wait for the next one.
Congratulations, Alex. Well done such a great achievement to get the Delorean on your front lawn for Holloween. Loved the intro that was the best!
Thanks so much!
@@LegitStreetCars You're Welcome
As a fellow near Chicago Illinois guy I love the dad humor and other jokes. Really love that there is a car guy doing so good on TH-cam from the area. All of us 90’s kids wanted one of these cars.
Fox body content was one of my favs. A 98 eclipse gsx would be another with the arch wing and bbs.
I concur. Two DeLorean's. One for the Purist, and another for the BTTF Fan!
Happy for you! Car guys know this feeling all too well. Literally a dream come true
What's your favorite movie or TV show car?
Green hornet
My favorite movie is cuties
DeLorean-elvira's thunderbird-and the good burger AMC pacer
Knight Rider 100%
I have always been a fan of the cars Tom Cruz had in his mission impossible movies and whatever Tony stark drove.
With your breadth of knowledge and skill, I think you could fix anything. Congrats
Omg I'm so stoked I didn't think a video was going to be on this whole build was so fun to watch
It is the best TH-cam series I've ever watched!! waiting for the completion of the space van, good job dear alex
The Best TH-cam Video Series hands down. Congratulations on the restoration. That car Rocks 🤘🏻
The plastic thing in the rack is to keep the rack pushed against the pinion so there is no slop between the two. Power racks usually have it too, or at least the Fox chassis racks I've worked on do.
This and the offroad Mercedes have been my favorite 2 builds so far
Best Delorean series ever!!!!!!!!! The car came out excellent, great job 🇨🇦😎🇨🇦
Every time I watch you power-wash something. I think of JR and that Aztec he bought from the guy who used to go fishing down every dirt road. And I cringe. LoL. This series has been amazing. Persistence and initiative overcomes all obstacles 👍
Love the way Alex gets sooo excited about such a very average car - yeh OK Back to the future 😁😁
Alex I enjoyed every minute of your DeLorean experience. You worked extremely hard to make your car a near mint desirable collectible that anyone would envy to own. I like what your wife said “Are you going to make it faster?! You have her permission I can’t wait to see what you decide to do! You had a ton of fun and it showed you loved every minute bringing this gem back to your high standards. I’m happy for you!
Super great Delorean restoration Alex ! 👍👍Would be nice to see you do a full restoration of a 1973 Ford Falcon XB GT from the movies MAD MAX ! 😉
1:26:53 yes alex. you did install that tape! good on you! amazing work on the project, you truly did right by this delorean
NICE JOB! The DeLorean looks AMAZING. Nice job Max with the editing!!
Ahh the weekend LSC video and it's an 1 1/2 hour long. Yes please. Loving the DMC stuff.
Wonderful! I'm so happy for you Alex. Putting the candy on the "Cownsole" was a nice touch. 😃
I've loved very single episode on this series, and I'm looking fordward for the other projects❤❤❤
Awesome series. I was literally checking multiple times a day for updates.
That crimp...we have ALL been there so many times!! You got it on there perfect...give it just a tug to make sure and it comes right off...start over!
Alex, Family and Associates Great Video, and Project but most of all The Kindness you show Thank You
Looking at this Delorean series made me miss mine so much! Congratulations!
Love the DeLorean....probably my favorite series. Glad you finished it but it's sad it is over now 😫
Alex, such a labor of love, you did this car justice.
All the hard work and effort are way worth it.
Awesome restoration, feel privileged we got to see all that.
Maybe in the future a few modern resto mod touches?
and the delorean is such a good-looking car! damn.
Another great video !! Mrs. LSC has a million dollar smile. Bless you both !
dang, i’m getting all my alfasud 1.5 servicing and repair time flashbacks!😅 cv joints! steering rack! fuel system! brilliant.
I really love your happiness. It's as close as we can get to being in the car with you. Great job bringing her back to life.
Alex's enthousiasm always makes me smile. What an awesome guy. All the best from the Netherlands
I used to live in San Francisco in the 80s and witnessed a few DeLorean's on the road back in the day.
I loved the series. It was cool seeing you at the end with your working DeLorean.
The bttf references are great touch. Love it
Awesome series about the Delorian... Thanks !!
Your DeLorean series is your best build yet Alex!
Fantastic job with DeLorean - WOW! I suggest keep it stock.
Congrats, car looks great! Lived in Chicago for 26 years, I don’t miss that weather one bit 😂
Easy-Off Oven Cleaner works amazingly well for de-greasing aluminum parts. The only minor warning I would add is not to leave it on too long or it can stain the aluminum. Look for the Yellow Can with the good stuff in it - the blue can is environmentally friendly and.... doesn't work. I use Easy Off to clean transmissions and they come out spotless.
P.S. - you shouldn't need thread sealer for NPT (pipe thread) fittings. The threads themselves are an interference fit and should seal themselves. If you have an NPT fitting that leaks.... replace the fitting or re-thread the hole it's going in.
This one took a few sessions to watch but well worth it. You should be filled with satisfaction.
I don't know what was better, the car restoration part or that it was used for Halloween.
My family and I are watching the movie this evening. It is November 5th after all.
That’s a beautiful DeLorean!
Another A++ video from Alex! I love this project series and the video effects when you went “back in time” was well executed.
Alex your videos are awesome. Keep the car dream alive.
OMG!!! Knight Rider guys!! Awesome channel. Congrats Alex, objective / dream achieved!
Wife reaction was great!
Alex, your sense of humor is an ongoing neverending Dad joke. Love it! 🙏
Congrats on meeting the deadline! Kudos to everyone for helping! Man I should’ve took the 4 hr road trip to Vegas for Sema! Great vid!
You made the DeLorean restoration not only amazing but you added a little comedy in it and it made it that much better. I love how you restore vehicles and run into problems and know how to fix them or at least figure out how to fix them to get them running top-notch. Keep the DeLorean just like you have it Don't turn it into the time machine. I think you getting another DeLorean somehow and turning that one into a time machine would be good. Keep that DeLorean looking original.❤
Will you please go back in time and ask You Tube to add a "Love" button. I love these videos and giving them a like is simply not enough. I had a moment in this video when I saw your kid had entered Dec 28, 1999, that was my 30 years birthday. Thanks for all the good stuff you make for us. ❤❤❤
Alex congrats on getting that Delorian on the road that is soooo cool
Wow the stance looks SO much better with the new suspension! Although I think the front end was raised slightly from the initial install. Moving the spring perch upwards will raise it. I would probably go down 1/2 inch or so, but otherwise it’s perfect! Also that Time Machine Haynes manual is BAD ASS!!!!
Props for restoration that includes upgrades making it BETTER THAN NEW. This car is truly time travelling to the future.
Knight Rider historians is a good watch. I've followed them for a long time.
Love all your videos and the Delorean series was the best. I was checking TH-cam every day for updates on your DMC-12. Thank you.
*** - I *CANNOT* believe it's snowing there already.. that's *CRAZY* .. I'm from Buffalo, New York.. normally we get *HAMMERED* every year... but it's still in the high 50's.. wow.
This video of yours put the biggest smile on my face.
I love your energy, you have inspired me to start my own daily driver project, a 2007 Dodge Nitro... it's currently a crank/no start but ive been working through all the potential issues with my first ever Foxwell 710 scan tool ( fyi what a fun tool lol ) just dropped the fuel tank and replaced the pump in my driveway yesterday and only spilled 2 gallons, oops. Thank you for inspiration good sir
Good job, Alex. It's been fun following this series.
